I became popular in the 1970s by disguising myself as a man

Chapter 63 New Year's Eve
Zhong Zhiran finally fried the noodles, twists and meatballs, and the egg whites, with the combined efforts of Tian Bowen and Zhou Xingyu, finally achieved the effect Zhong Zhiran wanted.

The red adzuki beans in the pot over there have also been cooked. Add some sugar and mix well. They are ground into a paste with the back of a spoon, and Feng Fang kneads them into small pieces.

Zhong Zhiran picked up a round bean paste with chopsticks and rolled it gently in the beaten egg white. Just like the name of this dish, it was like putting on a layer of white snow clothes, and then put it into the oil. The Xueyi bean paste was declared a success. I used up the remaining beaten egg whites according to the law, and there were about 20 bean paste left. I couldn’t waste this. I kept it to make sticky bean buns for two days. Zhong Zhiran liked it very much.

Zhong Zhiran's idea was good, but he didn't take care of it at a glance, and the remaining bean paste went into the stomachs of Liu Yuzhou and Jiang Heng.

By the time everything is fried, it's almost twelve o'clock. The Chinese New Year here mainly consists of two meals. The first meal is at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the second meal is at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening.

The meal in the evening is to eat Jie Shen dumplings, and after the meal, we have to stay up all night to stay up late.

"You can eat whatever you want. Just take as many bites as you want. We'll have dinner at three or four in the afternoon. I'll be the chef tonight. Everyone wants to eat whatever they want. Let's express our opinions."

Zhong Zhiran reached out and picked up another snow-coated bean paste and put it in his mouth. It should be said that it has this taste and texture. It really deserves its beautiful name, but it is a bit useless.

"My dad's friend brought me some crabs and shrimps. Can you make this?"

Jiang Heng didn't even raise his head. He was guarding the bowl of noodle fruit, taking one bite at a time, and was the first to ask.

"of course!"

"Jiang Heng, there's a problem with what you're asking. There's nothing our Chef Zhong can't do. No matter what comes into his hands, it can be turned into delicious food.

My family also sent me smoked chicken and smoked rabbit. I took them over and put them over there. You can take care of them. "

Zhong Zhiran looked at Jiang Heng, then at Liu Yuzhou, then raised his eyes at Zhou Xingyu and Feng Fang beside him.

How should I put it, Zhong Zhiran suddenly felt how the junior high school dean felt.

It's like a group of children of the same age. If a certain skill is opened, they will care about their clothes and hairstyle at all times, secretly dragging the little girl for a walk on the playground or near the wall.

But if you are not enlightened, you can spend a long time catching a grasshopper.

Obviously, Zhou Xingyu was the one who got the idea and showed his hospitality to Feng Fang, while Liu Yuzhou and Jiang Heng were the ones who caught grasshoppers.

After some discussion, the afternoon dishes were decided. Zhong Zhiran had an idea in her mind. She would not take a nap during the Chinese New Year and let everyone help prepare the dishes. She herself took the basket and put the noodles, twists, meatballs and snow clothes in her hand. I packed some bean paste, so I pretended to be young and old. After saying hello, I put on my military coat and went to Li Cuihong's house.

She had thought about it earlier, and after blowing up these things, she would send some to Li Cuihong's family.

When Zhong Zhiran went out and looked at his bare door, Zhong Zhiran realized that he had forgotten to prepare the couplet...

In later generations, most of the couplets focused on peace, wealth, good luck and wealth. However, at this time, most of the couplets focused on praising the motherland and leaders. Although the contents are different, they all carry the people's expectations for the new year. .

Zhong Zhiran also accelerated her pace here. After delivering the things, she would go back and write couplets. She had red paper, a brush and ink in her space, but she probably couldn't read the calligraphy, but no one else at home except herself. There are several people there, but why can't they find anyone who can write calligraphy with calligraphy?

When Zhong Zhiran arrived at Li Cuihong's house, everyone was busy. Before entering the house, he heard the sound of a kitchen knife chopping on the cutting board.

"Uncle, aunt, happy New Year, brother, sister-in-law, happy New Year."

Although the New Year is not considered until midnight, it’s not much different. Who doesn’t like to hear auspicious words? "Hey, happy New Year."

"Auntie, I fried something and brought it over to you to add some vegetables."

Li Cuihong didn't refuse this time, she took it with a smile, opened the cloth covering the basket and was stunned.

"Why did you fry these? It takes a lot of oil."

"Isn't this the New Year? If I don't do it normally, you can all try these.

How are the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law doing lately? She must be more than six months old now, right? "

Li Cuihong took out the things in the basket so that Zhong Zhiran could take them with him when he left.

"No, it's been more than six months now. When spring starts, the baby will be born in late April or early May."

After talking for a while at Zhang Yougen's house, Zhong Zhiran left. She was also going back to prepare meals.

At this time, there is no such thing as visiting a relative’s house with gifts during the New Year. Most of them go to relatives’ homes on the first day of the new year to crack melon seeds and chat. On the second day of the new year, men will accompany their wives. When you go to your father-in-law's house as a guest, you have to bring gifts. The amount depends on the conditions. In addition, you will also bring your own food rations.

There is no way, who knows that at this time, food in every household is very expensive.

Zhong Zhiran came here not only to bring some fried fruits, but also to say hello. If the two sisters-in-law want to go back to visit relatives on the second day of the new year, they can go to her place to push their bicycles. In addition to hers, Tazawa Yu She can also decide on that car.

However, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law of the Zhang family are not planning to go back to their parents' home today. They are afraid of any accidents as they get older. They have already said hello to their parents' home before. When the baby is born in the spring, they will not go back to their parents' home. The same goes for taking the child back and taking a look.

When Zhong Zhiran returned home, he placed the prepared red paper, ink, and brushes on the table.

"Which of you can write calligraphy?
As I walked along, we were the only ones whose doors were bare. Even the door of the Educated Youth Institute had a couplet posted on it. "

When Zhong Zhiran said this, everyone stopped what they were doing, but unfortunately, among so many of them, none of them thought of the couplet.

Then it's a quiet room, and no one can write calligraphy?
Zhong Zhiran still doesn't believe in this evil. She must put up the couplets today. If there are no couplets that can be written, she will pick out the big one and write the word "福" on the scrap newspapers one by one.

For the first time in his life, Zhong Zhiran felt that the words "terrible" had a picture, and a group of skinny guys were almost equally tall on one side...

"Come on, none of us should think that our calligraphy is ugly. Let's each be responsible for the couplets on our own doors. If Tian Zeyu is not here, the couplets written by Tian Bowen and written by you will be posted on his door."

As for the content of the couplet, after several selections, I finally settled on "The country is so beautiful, but the scenery here is unique." Several people wrote the same thing.

This time, no one was laughing at anyone, so they wrote and posted them one after another. Everyone walked a few steps away to look at the couplets on their respective doors.

Well, ugly is different...
